Abstract
The Santa Ana Youth Media Project (SAYMP) was born during the summer of 2019 and grew from a need, expressed by youth, for more critical media literacy that could further amplify and focus on narratives that reflect how youth navigate their personal, cultural-social, and economic environments. Our media projects consist of intentional participative research and journalistic designs that document stories using tools such as narrative inquiry, Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) and video/media production to visually capture the narratives of youth and community within the city of Santa Ana and its larger Orange County context. Our goal is to develop a media platform where youth and community members can tell their own stories and advocate for their communities using media as a tool (Kellner & Share, 2005; Quijada Cerecer et al., 2013). The SAYMP website acts as the cornerstone of the project, housing all of the SAYMP initiatives.
